And they can have that help because we are not them.

Well, that asshole also turned down over $350 million in funds to help mitigate climate change, because fuck Floridians. I hate that prick and can’t wait to move out of this fascist hellhole.

Florida is a disaster, and it always needs aid.

It's not complicated at all. It's a simple flowchart.

"Does the aid benefit me directly?"

• Yes: It's nessecary and aid should be provided.
• No: This is a tragedy, but we shouldn't be spending wastefully.

Still waiting for my check for paying for extra heat, road salt, and significantly more road maintenance for living in Minnesota. Oh wait, we only bail out the wealthy who build condos in the likely path of increasingly frequent hurricanes? It's a good thing we contribute more dollars to the feds than we get back, otherwise Floridians might actually need to pay for living where they live like the rest of us.

PS: Not advocating we abandon all who get hit by a disaster, but their has to be a way to balance federal contribution given these "once in a generation freak occurrences" are likely to happen a hell of a lot more. Don't build in high risk areas and expect a handout.

Florida Man Hates Federal Aid, Needs Federal Aid

My hometown was destroyed by Sandy. Homes were destroyed and my neighbors, including my grandparents, left. I should have evacuated. Flordia needs a new governor.

Florida's Republicans Red states have a complicated relationship with disaster aid.

"Thinking of others' needs is socialism."

"Yes. Yes, it is."

They need to start the florida evac scheme already to just evacuate everyone still sane from that shitehole

Any help should be predicated on immutable, legal obligations to adopt/confirm policies that help working class people.
